Strangely, no co-op even after the patch. Hmm.

The impression I received from one of the videos (trying to find the one atm) is that there will be dogs around in the city and you can make one of them yours. But...in the video where Peter first introduced the dog, he says that the dog is unique in that nobody's dog will look like yours and that it will change depending on how you act in the game (from sheep dog to doberman in looks). So how there will be dogs in the city and you chose one seems to be wrong. Hopefully one of our comrades will be able to fully answer that question because I was curious about the same thing, especially naming the dog. It would be strange if you couldn't, especially since it seems like Peter likes to make the gaming experience to be a personal and realistic one as well.Wizman23 said:

Thank goodness that Dead Space is amazing. I'm not feeling the pain of others playing my game (it's MINE!!!).

I don't know where you got that, but everything I've seen says you meet the dog in one of the childhood missions. You can't choose what it looks like initially, but it will morph based on your actions. And yes, you can name every NPC in the game including your dog.

plus I refuse to play any game with a fart action.

Well I figured it was probably wrong by simple deduction of the "your dog is unique" comment by Peter. I'm not sure where I got it from, probably because frankly I've seen so many videos on the game some of it ran together. Maybe from the video about your dog waiting outside in the city or something, who knows. Either way, thanks for the clarification on the naming aspect of things.Tiamatsword22 said:

Impressions:
I've been playing about three hours, so I'm not that far into the game at all... the world already seems massive, though, and I can see myself sinking a lot of time into exploring and learning my way around. Fighting seems fun, but I only have one spell, so I'm not too sure on how complex it'll get. It feels good, though. Also, there's no magic meter? It seems like I can just use spells over and over. I do like how with the "force push" spell, you can use it normally or direct it at someone.
I've seen folks asking about loading zones and the way that they work... basically, you're in an area, and there are "exits" out of the zone. When you go through those exits, you'll be loaded into the next zone. You'll get a typical "loading..." screen with a pro-tip like "Heroes can survive massive falls that would break normal folks' bones!" Loading times in between zones are nothing to worry about; they're reasonably quick.
Within the zones themselves, there are paths that are obvious, and then you can walk off the paths, and explore the surrounding areas. It definitely doesn't feel like Oblivion, though; you have an area that you can walk around in, but there are rock walls and debris and stuff that block you from moving outside of the play area. It is cool, though, to walk off of the path and start exploring, and then find yourself back at an earlier point on the path without even realizing where you've gone. The "free roam areas" are not small at all.
I played split-screen co-op with a friend and it was fun. He used the "teleport" button a lot, which pulled him back to me when we got too far apart (although, at a point, it won't let either of you walk any further). A few weird things did happen, like me jumping off of a tall hill and into a lake, and the camera flying back to him and me not being able to see myself. But it is split screen, and it felt fine for what it was trying to do.
The game is funny. Each item that you get has a description that goes along with it, and most of them are pretty amusing.
I haven't picked up too much loot, yet. I did get a new melee weapon, though, which I equipped - when you're looking at your weapons, the best one will have a little note next to it that says "BEST" to let you know to equip that one.
The story so far seems good. You've got to let yourself get into it... there are already things that have happened that have made me mad, and things that I've done that I've felt good about. I have a feeling that a lot more is on the way.
Money is not coming easy. I wish I'd played that Chicker Kicker game, since it awarded you 1000 gold (it is pretty cool how they give you the stuff you won). I've been playing for three hours and I only have 300. I haven't ran into any shops, yet, though.
My biggest complaint is that the game definitely doesn't look very polished; there are graphical glitches, like the dog clipping through the ground while you're looking at him (and he's just sitting there stationary). Another time, a character on a porch kicked my dog (I named him Charizard lol), and he (the dog) teleported underneath the porch. I think I might be a little overly-critical, though... nothing I've seen has in any way hindered or degraded my experience.

You might still be able to kick some chickens though. It's worth a try.

No, you get a dog from the outset - it's the same dog for everyone, but he'll change according to your character and how you treat him.
And you'll love him, too. I know this because I found myself muttering 'good boy' whenever he discovered a decent treasure. I feel no shame in admitting this.

:lol No reason to be ashamed. I know I'll find myself doing the same thing once I get my hands on the game. Thanks for the info and the clarification of things. I can't wait to play!Hero of Canton said:

Bowerstone,
Also, I didn't mention the housing market earlier? Every piece of property has a deed on it where it lists:
Base value
Decoration
Town Economy
Not Vacant
Owners Killed
Hero Opinion
All of those things are added up and that gives you the final selling price. And apparently the town economy will fluctuate based on what sort of trading you do within the town (ripping people off, giving them good deals).
I really like the orbs of the other players around you in the game. It turns the single player experience slightly massive in a way which is nice to combat boredom. Once I realized they could hear me in market while doing my blacksmith job..."Whattda Buyin?"

Me and Sanjuro just met at the town center and talked. He's not even on my friends list.... :lol This is NUTS.
There are orbs all over the place doing random things. And by "orbs," I mean the person's gamerpic. It is awesome.
